Co-op Membership

The Co-op Commitment

Co-op Commitment

If you choose to pay in instalments over 2 – 25 years, your plan will include the Co-op Commitment. If you die after the first 12 months of your plan, but before all your instalments have been paid, Co-op will still deliver all the services provided in your plan, with no more for your family to pay. You’ll be entitled to the Co-op Commitment if you die within the first 12 months as the result of an accident. Payments must be up to date, see our terms and conditions.

Remember, if you buy a Co-op Funeralcare Funeral Plan before 30th November 2017, you'll save £125 off the full price of your plan.
